  Ambient Awareness
  Culture, Tech (0)

  Clive Thompson is fast becoming one of my favourite writers. He usually writes articles about video games that I will never get to play because my life is too busy. I just finished reading a piece he wrote about how our continual connectedness to our friends and acquaintances online gives us a sense of awareness and closeness to each other that was never possible before.  The short, often silly status updates and blurbs about our friends online seem silly and banal individually, but when added together gives us a sense of closeness and awareness to each other that is ...

  Photoshock Skills
  Tech (0)

  On the completely freaky side of things, you should really check this site out, which is a showcase of some serious art/photoshop skills.  This guy rocks, I can only imagine the time and effort this takes.  There are some wicked images there, the first is probably my favourite. I saw it on Boing Boing first.

  I was captivated by Wired's article on Shai Agassi, an entrepreneur from Israel who believes he can reboot the car industry in a fascinating way with a brilliant take on electric vehicles.  The article introduced me to the (apparently) growing concept of buying a car but leasing the batteries, which seems to make a lot of sense. "...It was an unorthodox mashup of the automotive and mobile phone industries. Instead of gas stations on every corner, the ERGO would blanket a country with a network of "smart" charge spots. Drivers could plug in anywhere, anytime, and would subscribe to a specific ...

  Family News, Tech (1)

  We spent some time at Mom's trailer this weekend and had a good time in spite of the rain, maybe due to the fact that we were lucky enough to be able to play Rock Band when the rain did come down. Just ask Nikki how long I have been whining about this, she will tell you. Well I have never played until now and with the help of some helpful cousins the lads and I were rocking out with, um varying degrees of success. It's the best family game I could imagine. Maybe Santa will provide this year? Here's a ...

  Double Arm Transplant

  The first double-arm transplant recipient is well on his way to giving high-fives and thumbs-up to his team of 40 doctors and nurses.  Amazing.

  Blogging from the iPhone
  Tech (0)

  At the risk of incurring any further backlash about the iPhone from disgruntled friends and family, I am blogging from the very thing right now. I must say it seems to actually work, but that won't help when the grumbling and hostilities continue. I didn't factor that in when I was getting the thing, it's getting to the point where I can't show anybody any of the new little doodads I find. I'm kidding of course, but only a bit. And now a random iPhone picture:
